There’s a theme that has been running underneath the Trump presidency.

A sense that Republican Congressional leadership has refused to the President’s agenda. It’s almost as though they are afraid to identify with him.

This has hampered progress. Mr. Trump was very specific during his campaign regarding what he wished to accomplish. And he won. So now it’s time to deliver on the promises.

Unfortunately, in spite of the Republicans controlling both houses of Congress, this is not easily done. Much of the blame can be placed on RINOs in high places, such as Speaker Ryan. He is neither a conservative nor loyal to the president. Hence, he’s a problem.

The Gateway Pundit has nailed yet another example of Mr. Ryan acting as though he’s a Democrat.

“Speaker Paul Ryan promised Democrats on Thursday he will pass amnesty for illegal aliens. They just need to wait a week or two.

“Ryan made the comments Thursday hoping to sway Democrats to pass a budget.”

What kind of a deal is Mr. Ryan concocting there? “Just wait a week or two?” For what?

Mr. Ryan needs to review the platform on which President Trump defeated Hillary Clinton.

This was one of the most remarkable upsets in U.S. political history. And it deserves all the follow-through possible. No one expects the Democrats to get on board with the president. However, the Republican Speaker of the House should be a staunch ally. He’s not.

Here’s the unvarnished truth:

“Donald Trump won the 2016 election by promising to build a wall and stamp out illegal immigration. Republicans act like it never happened.”

This lack of a consistent conservative agenda from congressional leadership is more than disturbing. It’s a disgrace.

Campaign volunteers and donors worked and gave much to hand the Republicans majorities in both houses and the White House. The election was stunning.

The failure of the Republican Congressional leadership to run with the ball is a slap in the face to those who put Donald Trump in the White House.

Unfortunately, that failure begins with the Speaker of the House. Should the Republicans retain control of the House after the 2018 elections, it’s time for Mr. Ryan to go.
